Hmmm,  a wide spread problem.  I have these sessions from time to time with
a TSM 4.1.1 server running in AIX 4.3.3 ml 6.  I've found that when these
sessions are present, the CPU is maxed out.  Killing these sessions
restores the CPU to normal usage.  I've played with several versions/makes
of browsers and have not been able to 'create' these types of rouge
sessions.  I suspect they'll go away when the IDLETIMEOUT is reached, but
that's just a guess.

We had the same problem here with 3.7.3.8 on AIX 4.3.3 - getting our
w/95/nt admin machines up to IE5.5 solved the problem for us.

I have the same problem server is AIX 3.7.4 client Win 95 with IE5
The ghost sessions eat away resources, I always cancel them an dCPU
immediatly
goes down to normal again....!
My colleague with exactly the smae setup does not have the problem !
Just glad I'm not alone ;)
